I've got my DVR all set for both the pre-show and the finale. I can't wait! From all the tweeting going on it looks like they are bringing back
a lot of alumni to give Simon a big send-off. I don't expect Taylor and Elliott to get a chance to sing either a duet or solo, I think it will
be a group number of all the returning heroes.

Even the tweets from jealous people running Taylor down tonight aren't bothering me, I've got a huge smile on my face. :P

Me either, Tish! I'm actually feeling rather sorry for those poor people who can't see past themselves; throwing their childish 'hissy-fits'. When Taylor is old & ~ well ~ old & using a walker, there will still be those 'barking' about him.
Not gonna allow them to 'douse my flames'! :cs :cs :cs

The Birmingham Boys attended the Fox Party in LA called " Countdown to the Finale" . It was held at the Elevate Lounge on May 24, 2010 as tweeted by Taylor.

Over the last four years, Taylor's been the only person to get me to do a lot of things I've never done before. Sitting down to watch Idol tomorrow night after I vowed "never again" is one of them! I don't think I can catch all of it live, due to work obligations, but I can watch it back via TIVO and love it. :bls

i have been watching american idol this year and it has been the most boringest season ever! I only liked the top 3. I am really looking forward to seeing Taylor again on AI doing the duet with Elliott ( who was my 2nd fave on AI 5).Taylor is still my fave star from AI. I only have to wait 5 and a half hours to see the finale

We know Carrie Underwood is performing and Kris Allen ( as the reigning Idol , that seems appropriate ) and Joe Cocker is going to perform with the two finalist, Crystal and Lee. There will be others, but because Cocker and Hicks have been linked "musically" , think Taylor's audition, I figured his appearance would create a buzz.

Several tweets from different past contestants stating that they will be at the show and "performing" could mean a group song celebrating Simon . Michael Johns tweeted that it will be epic. ... What is epic???? Just long or of great scope and/or both???

If Taylor sings it could just be in the group with Elliott, Bo , Constantine, etc etc etc.............. although there has been comment about a duet with Elliott..........

Heck, I am just going to watch and find out .

This will be taped , so whatever happens will be posted here for your viewing pleasure.

Lord, that man is so needy (Simon). His ego knows no bounds. I hope somebody breaks a flower pot and sticks it on his head, like they did when the Cowardly Lion was crowned in The Wizard of Oz! I'm only watching for Taylor and Joe Cocker. Had the pleasure of seeing Cocker open for Steve Winwood in Madison Square Garden years ago. Could not believe he opened for Steve! He was riveting!

Our family is watching the Am Idol finale because my cousin Kris Allen is singing. But it sure won't hurt my feelings if I see sweet Taylor.

On the Biography channel, I am now watching SIMON COWELL'S BIOGRAPHY. Interesting ..... this is the first showing that I am aware of.

His father was in real estate and a music executive. While he loved rock music, he really loved the money he could make and is quite honest about it.

Love him or hate him, he did things his way. ( reminiscent of Taylor.......same birthday , same personality trait ) He was into wrestling and taking insignificant tv personalities , made them stars by making them conform to the "grudge rock " or "pop rock" genre which was justbecoming popular

He tried to get the "Pussycat Dolls " to sign with him, but failed. WestLife was his first success. He was called the 'antichrist" of the music world........ he didn't care .......he made money and he manipulated the general public and was proud of it.

He produced "PopStars" ........... select a group to win a reality show and manipulate the winners to sell records. He left it and it became a big success............a big financial error on his part.


Simon Fueller and Cowell merged the idea of reality tv and music to produce "PopIdol". He wasn't being himself in the beginning and than started to tell the auditioners what he really thought of their performance and he "found his niche". He earned a fortune with this show in England.

Simon was hated in England in the beginning, but became a hit for his bluntness. He believes his honesty is what makes his show successful.

He tried to bring this show to American , but no one wanted to "host" the show.

In 2001, an influence fan , Elizabeth Murdock, told her father, Rupert to air the show in America ........... but only with the pithy , brutal Simon on the show. Fox picked up the show and Simon became an important figure behind the scenes and on stage.

Brian Dunkleman and Ryan Seacrest were hosts: Simon found Dunkleman to be too needy and too overjoyed to be part of the show. Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell clicked immediately. Randy found him a little short guy with the same musical beliefs. Paula Abdul joined the group and found Cowell very pleasant until the first auditions.......
He was told he can't treat Americans like he was doing, but he said he was going to continue to do it " so there ".

Cowell invited confrontation. He speaks to the contestants before the show and tells them he is going to be honest and that they should stand up for themselves. The smack-down is wanted and needed to make the show exciting.

The American producers wanted to give Simon scripted "put downs" , but he insisted that he did not need them and could handle that part of the show all by himself.

June 11, 2002 "American Idol" primiered on American TV. 9.9 Million people tuned in for the show. It is an investment by the audience in the career of a "newbie" . AN INVESTMENT THAT WE FANS OF TAYLOR HICKS UNDERSTAND AND TAKE VERY PERSONALLY.


Simon , of course, has a piece of the action from every Idol contestant he signs.
Simon does have a vulnerable side ..... he is a kind man, generous man, thoughtful and worries about other people's feelings. He never turns down an autograph......is very gracious to everyone who comes up to him.

He appeared in "Scary Movie 3" where he made fun of himself....he admits that Simon Cowell, the actor, is dreadful.

The show highlighte Season 1 and some of Season 2 , but than glossed over everything else.


WITH TOMORROW , MAY 26, 2010 , BEING THE LAST SHOW FOR SIMON..........WE GIVE HIM HIS DUE ...............WITHOUT IDOL WE WOULD NOT HAVE TAYLOR HICKS AND WITHOUT SIMON COWELL WE WOULD NOT HAVE AMERICAN IDOL........SO WE ARE INDEBTED TO THE MAN.

Taylor meets up with fellow Idols, Elliott and Ace ( am thinking the girl might be Ace's girlfriend ;although he broke his engagement to the Grease chick, I think )
Now we can include Ace as being at the American Idol tribute to Simon Cowell.

LOS ANGELES (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - The much-anticipated two night finale of American Idol gets underway Tuesday, and some of the past contenders are already weighing in on the how things will turn out between Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox.

According to past statistics, the person who performs last is the one likely to win the crown.

Former winner Taylor Hicks says knocking their socks off right off the bat can also leave a lasting imprint.
Bowersox has won a coin toss and will perform last.

Me too, Kaitlin! I think AI just upped their TV audience by a lot!

Can't wait to see Taylor and Elliot!
